Why Valentin

The solar design company Valentin Software can look back on over 25 years of successful company history. With its brands PV*SOL®, T*SOL® and GeoT*SOL® for the dynamic simulation, design, yield calculation and financial prognosis of photovoltaic, solar thermal and heatpump systems, Valentin Software has become the worldwide leading provider in innovative planning software for sustainable energy supply. The maxx team is using Valentin’s PV*SOL Premium for designs and trainings and we looked for a solution to bring the software to South Africa and facilitate local purchase.

Professional PV Software has its value, but maxx made a bench mark and we identified Valentin Software as the software with the best value for money. You buy the license only once and then you can use it forever. Additionally, you need to buy every 12 month the software maintenance package to get always the latest updates and upgrades. And this package costs only 18% of the license price.

With PV Sol*Premium you can design a PV system in 15-30 minutes. Based on the design you can prepare you quote and you can attach the comprehensive PV*SOL report to your quote. The report includes all relevant information for you client and he even can see how the PV system will look like, what will be the annual electricity production, how shadow will influence the performance and much more.
